The screen is a great idea for the stitching! Why didn't I think of that? Now I know what I need to do for my current build.

I think I may try to give this a go rather the spending money on a resin cockpit. I will be using your pictures for future reference. Thank you.

Beautiful wood work on the inside of the fuselage and on the seat, you are moving along really well with this model.

I'll echo the comment about using the screening for stitching. That's a great idea. It's good to see a Bishop build too.

Cheers,

Chris

Remarkable work on the details, Iwik!  You're doing an amazing job dressing up the old girl.
Cheers,

Very nice painting. The woodwork and the chipped paint on the metal looks great.

The sideboards that have the planks at an angle did you use individual strips to make that or one of the special sheets from Evergreen. Seem to remember seeing sheets of something similar in the local hobby store. Think they were meant for railroad hobbyists.
